My husband is a twin & the dr told us the chances of having twins is the same as if he was a singleton.

Identical twins are completly random. Fraternal is the only type that can be increased by genetics passed on from your mother or grandmother.

Chances of twins only increase on the mothers side. So if your mom or grandma had fraternal twins then you could have an increased chance. However if the male is a twin that has no bearing on having twins. Gender is the man's job and multiples is the girls job.
